1991 Isuzu Pick-up aight in light of the ever growing popularity of crawling it is getting difficult to do or build something original to an extent. i think i found something finnaly. actually i have been wanting to do this for a long time but the parts never were in my grasp. well i managed to sell a lot of stuff and aquired enough parts in trades to get going. ok here it is the 1991 Isuzu Pick-up (not mine but same body style) http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/m...596982c7d5.jpg "Why?" you say. well my very first vehicle was a 91 zu and i loved it dearly. it was a slow, noisy, red, dinky, always muddy, 2wd, manual, piece of crap, but it was mine. and i beat the hell out of it and never had a lick of trouble from her after 3 years, as long as you put that quart of oil in it every other weak. other adventures include hitting 2 deer, a fence, muddy roads, and airing it out in front of my high school over a speed "hump", and countless wet drifting attempts. as a matter of fact my family still has it and my dad drives it everyday to save on gas, despite the fact he pays for it in oil lol. it has so little compression i can turn the engine over by grabing the fan, or just pushing it......by myself. anyway the project will be what i would like to do with the old zu after it finnally dies. I just got an Tamiya Mu and for all you Tamiya lovers yes im going to cut it to heck and back. so far this will be the build specs. Isuzu mu turned into a pickup Drop bed, obvious body work including changing the grill to look like that ^ full interior lights bumpers, rock sliders fully loaded tlt axles rc4wd scale shocks scale steel chassis by me, 4 linked integy aluminum wheels and undicided tires, leaning toward mud thrashers mamba maxx esc. so i have a lot ahead of me. i know you hate threads without pics but i will post them as soon as i get all the stuff in my hands. thanks |
